Q [ kVAR] = V [Volt] * I [Amp.] *Sin (phi) While (Phi) is the angle between V & I If you know Q, V, and PF (Cos Phi), then you can get Cirrent. Hope this helps.

Q [ kVAR] = V [Volt] * I [Amp.] Sin (phi) While (Phi) is the angle between V & I If you know Q, V, and PF (Cos Phi), then you can get Cirrent. Hope this helps. For a pure Capacitive load the Sin(phi) = 1. However in real capacitors the Sin(Phi) whould be close to 1 Therefore for a pure capacitor : Q [ kVAR] 1000 = V [Volt] * I [Amp.] * 1 I [Amp] = ( Q [ kVAR] * 1000 ) / V [Volt] Hope this helps Cheers Navnag

Coz every body including myself put his assumption. kinjalpatel1899did not told us if it is 3 phase circuit or not. SoVithani'sAnswer is correct if it is 3 phase circut and ifkinjalpatel1899have some other loads connected with the capacitor bank. I mean if it is not a pure capacitor bank load. And in this case you need to know power factor. Navnaganswer is also correct if it is a pure capacitor bank. In this case Sin Phi = 1. So, I think thatkinjalpatel1899have to clarify these points or go through thislink
